Text / Sourcestubschool: pan-indian· Frawley — Astrology of the Seers
The Vedas (incl. Rig Veda)
वेद (ऋग्वेद)Veda (Ṛgveda)
txt-vedasDefinition
The Vedic scriptures — the revealed root of the whole tradition Frawley draws on. He states the book is 'based upon and reflects an extensive study of the Vedas' over ~20 years (Preface, book p.16) and glosses 'Veda' as 'wisdom — the knowledge of truth based on direct perception' (Preface, book p.16). The Rig Veda specifically is indexed (book pp.39,40,55,60). CLASSICAL Sruti; verified:false (the Vedas themselves are not collated in this extraction — they are Frawley's claimed substrate, not a quoted-and-located verse).
Classical
Prāṇa relevance
The Vedic corpus is the ultimate claimed source of the prana/Agni/Soma cosmology the project traces; but no specific prana verse is located here. Trace deferred.
